My Parents Don't Know About My Relationship

The Story

Hi! After a long dilemma, I decided to share what was bothering me. I've had a boyfriend for three years. We met at the university and graduated from both of them in a few days. So far, so good. I'm Turkish, and he's not, and that's why my parents don't know. Two years ago, I tried to tell my mother. We've never been close, it's the first time I've told her about a man in my life. You didn't understand. I never understood why. But I came to the conclusion that you thought I was going to get pregnant so they could accept this relationship, and in the end, he'd leave me. He's playing with me. I tried to explain to her that he was far from like that. Then he started telling me that his parents wouldn't accept me. His parents knew from the beginning, and they don't have a problem with that. At least for now. In the end, I told her we split up so she wouldn't bother me. I don't know how I'm going to tell them. They're not extremely conservative people, on the contrary. They don't divide people by ethnicity. In my mother's words, they want me to be happy. I don't know how to be happy in a situation like this. At 24 years old, my happiness depends on them. I don't even know how the conversation would start. All I know is that my mother would be very offended for hiding from her for three years. But I just didn't have a choice. The time to return home is approaching and I mean it more and more. Every night I dream of my parents learning. I don't want to fall asleep anymore. I'm afraid of a lot of things, and I don't have anyone to share with. I love my friend very much, I wouldn't leave him for anything in the world. But this confrontation with my parents scares me. Please give me some advice, an opinion, anything. I need to hear someone's opinion on my case, some hope maybe. Thank you in advance, everyone.
